Trump spokesman exhibiting extreme paranoia

[kentuck]

Sean Spicer, press spokesman, appears to be scared shitless that we were going to be attacked by terrorists and anything they did to counter that fear was warranted.

A dark cloud of fear seems to have over-taken the Trump White House. The
reality of the threats in the world has finally opened their eyes very wide.

They seem to be operating totally out of fear? Paranoia rules the day.

Just my opinion.

1. pumping up paranoia among their base has been good business for republicans

i don't know if spicer himself is paranoid, really most republican leaders probably aren't.

but they know the game, and they know that goosing paranoid fears among their faithful is good for defense funding, re-election, distraction, etc.

2. A combination of

fear and paranoia is not a good mix


We're fucked


need to get that whole cabal the fuck out of the white house and soon

3. They should fear the 74 million people who didn't vote for Orange Julius Caesar. n/t

4. If they are so paranoid about a terror attack, then why dick around with Dunford's position on NSC?

Shouldn't the Chairman of the JCS General Dunford be expected to attend every NSC meeting, especially in a post 9-11 world? Especially with all the Trump paranoia against Muslims?

5. It would be nice to know the timeline.

Whether or not the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs agreed with the mission to attack al Qaeda over the weekend? And were they told to step back because they disagreed?

6. If it was fear, they would specify countries where terrorists actually trained.

You don't start by banning countries that have done us no harm.

7. Paranoia is not rational.

And they have been acting very irrationally.

8. They're snowflakes.

9. They're trying to gin up fear just as Cheney/Bushco did.

Makes one wonder what their reason is, or is that obvious?

trump has already said "we may get another chance to get Iraq's oil".

10. They want us to be terrified

All that nonsense about having to act BEFORE something happens is complete codswallop. And, of course, presupposes that the Obama Admin has done nothing. Another lie that the WHPC let stand.

11. You've got it wrong

They want citizens to be paranoid - all they have to sell is fear and their looting of the treasury
